I design interiors that respond to the people who inhabit them.
Each project is a search for balance between function
and emotion, precision and atmosphere.
Drawing from my experience in hospitality,
retail and residential design,
I study how people interact
with space, translating their movements
and habits
into environments that feel coherent, comfortable and alive.

simulation and photometric analysis (Dialux evo), light distribution study
2022
This lighting study focuses on optimizing visual comfort and atmosphere within a private residence through precise photometric analysis. Using DIALux software, simulations were carried out to evaluate the quantity, quality and distribution of artificial light, allowing for a balance between technical performance and spatial emotion.
The project explored how lighting can adapt to daily rhythms, defining functional zones while enhancing material perception and depth. Each environment was studied in relation to its use, ensuring a consistent and human-centered illumination across the home.
